When it looks for files to include in the OS image it is building, mkifs resolves the file paths specified in the build file by searching host paths in a preferred order. This order is based on whether these specified paths are absolute or relative, the search attribute setting, and the MKIFS_PATH environment variable setting.
For details on the required path syntax to indicate an absolute versus a relative path, see the buildfile path description in the mkifs reference. For information on how MKIFS_PATH is defined and how it affects the search attribute, see the MKIFS_PATH description in the same reference.
Details on overriding the default search paths are given in the next topic.
